During the course of an extensive survey of Coleoptera from tropical southern Florida, a specimen of the exclusively Neotropical genus Dryocoetoides was found in flight intercept traps (Atkinson and Peck, 1994; Peck, 1989).  Over the intervening years I have had the opportunity to compare the specimen with material in the U.S. National Museum  and in the S. L. Wood collection (recently transferred to the USNM).   Wood's ( 2007) recent monograph of the South American species of Scolytinae included a key to all the known species of the genus, not only those known from South America.  Based on that key and included descriptions I was able narrow down the possibilities and to borrow selected Schedl types from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.  As a result, I have reached the conclusion that this specimen represents an undescribed species.  It is described here to make the name available for a regional monograph of the bark and ambrosia beetles of the southeastern U.S. (Atkinson, in prep.).

A New Species

As part of ongoing efforts to understand and document the flora of the southeastern United States, we propose a number of taxonomic changes. In Trichostema, we name a new species, narrowly endemic to maritime grasslands in the Carolinas and warranting formal conservation status and action. In Dichanthelium (Poaceae), we continue the reassessment of taxa formerly recognized in Panicum and provide new combinations along with a new key to taxa in the Dichanthelium scabriusculum complex. In Paspalum (Poaceae), we address the controversial taxonomy of P. arundinaceum and P. pleostachyum and treat the two as conspecific, with P. arundinaceum the correct name. In Portulaca (Portulacaceae), we report the discovery of the Bahamian P. minuta as a native component of the North American flora, occurring in southern Florida.

A New Species

A new species, Scirtes goliai Epler, is described from southern Florida, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands.  It is distinguished by its small size, oblong habitus, brown coloration, laminate prosternum and distinctive genitalia.  The species appears to be associated with mangroves.

During a 2016 survey of the nematode associates of the native palmetto weevil,Rhynchophorus cruentatus, and the recently introduced West Indian sugarcane weevil,Metamasius hemipterus(Coleoptera: Curculionidae), from southern Florida, a new species ofAcrostichuswas cultured from a single dissectedR. cruentatusfrom Fort Pierce, FL, USA. Morphological and molecular studies showed that it was new to science and it is described herein asA. floridensisn. sp. The new species is characterised by its male tail characters, spicule morphology with rounded manubrium separated from other parts by clear constriction, smoothly ventrally curved blade, slightly dorsally recurved and pointed tip, more or less straight gubernaculum with widely rounded anterior end and a triangular (arrowhead-like) appendage at the distal tip, and the arrangement of male genital papillae, ⟨(v1, v2), v3 / v4, ad, ph, (v5, v6, v7, pd)⟩. In addition toA. floridensisn. sp. and the previously described nematode associates ofR. cruentatus,i.e.,A. rhynchophori,Teratorhabditis palmarumandMononchoidessp., we recovered a putative new species ofDemaniellaand a new association record withRhabditidoides humicolusandDiplogastrellus metamasiusin Homestead, FL. Dissections and subsequent culturing attempts withM. hemipterusrevealed the previously described nematode associates ofCaenorhabditis angariaandD. metamasiusas well as a new association withR. humicolusin Homestead, FL, USA.

A New Species

Crassadoma monroensisnew species (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pectinidae), from the lower upper Pliocene Ochopee Limestone Member of the Tamiami Formation of southern Florida, is the first undoubted member of the genusCrassadomaBernard, 1986, to be discovered in the Neogene on the eastern side of the Americas. The new species was likely byssate, not cemented, and fills the geographic gap between ancestral members of the tribe Crassadomini in the eastern Atlantic andCrassadoma gigantea,the giant cemented species that lives along the western shores of North America.
